DH left for more money and Brownie had dreams of the CanTuky job but well...as a coach he failed.I don't think the last two Wvu coaches in football would say that.

You asked what you said that had my "panties in a twitch".......I present you Exhibit A (above)......your posts is nothing but how WVU "sucks" and was only successful with "weak schedules". There's a few others schools you could enjoy, we won't hold you back if you want to leave.Rodriquez was playing weak schedules. He was the only coach that reached that 8–9-win threshold you threw out. Look at the 2005 schedule it was a joke. In that era there was about 3-4 games that you could say we had a chance of losing. Today there is about 4 games where you could say we would win for sure. There maybe four power conferences and not six but there are more members in that four then there were in those six. The only teams currently not a member of the power 4 who were power 6 members are Uconn , USF, Wash state and Oregon State but you replace them with Smu, Ucf, Houston, Byu and Cincinatti. The majority of recruits do not want to play in the Big 12 or Acc. They want to go to the Big 10 and Sec where the money is. These conferences make double in tv revenue. There NiL capabilities are far superior. It's the reason you see significant improvement in some of these middle of the pack programs in these conferences. I agree we shouldn't be getting throttled by some of the teams we play but if your program is at the bottom of the big 12 in NIL like some of the podcasts have said on quite few occasions then you should expect it. The big 12 is the best paycheck we can get at the moment but after that it's not a good situation for us. You have to be playing games in your recruiting footprint and that's not currently happening. When Rod had the success, you speak of was Wvu playing in middle America? or was it playing on the east coast and Florida where we belong.
Scott Frost, Former UCF/Nebraska Head CoachWhere do you see that Rich is the top candidate for the UCF job? I have looked at a few articles naming candidates for that job and his name is not listed.
He's a good coach. Going to Nebraska was a mistake. Everyone was hyped about Rhule early on when they were winning, but what did they finish? Yeah, 6-6.Scott Frost, Former UCF/Nebraska Head Coach
Could UCF look to its past for its next head coach? Frost guided the Knights to a 19-7 mark from 2016-17, including a 13-0 season in his final year at the helm. His tenure at Nebraska ended in dismissal, as the Cornhuskers went 16-31 from 2018-22. Frost currently works as an analyst with the Rams.
Potential at UCF is an untapped talent rich state that could win the Big 12 on a regular basis with the right coach.
It used to be. I’m not sure now. If there’s a blueblood who lost their blueblood status, it’s Nebraska. In a lot of ways they’re facing the same challenges as WVU. Limited instate recruiting amd same population as WV. They have their tradition and sellout attendance. Does it matter today? IdkWinning at Nebraska is easier than winning at WVU imo.
You mean the coach that severely underachieved this year like Brown?Can WVU hire away Lance Leipold from Kansas?
I agree 100%. I just doubt Baker is gonna pick him.Make it happen! He's the right choice, and it's the right time.
Might not be Baker's decision. This is the NIL era. Money talks. And if the big donors want something, they'll get it.I agree 100%. I just doubt Baker is gonna pick him.
The big money loves Rodriguez.Might not be Baker's decision. This is the NIL era. Money talks. And if the big donors want something, they'll get it.
Geez, I leave for a couple of years, and here you all are back talking about the shithead. He's an egomaniac and I care how he left us. You clearly fail to grasp the seriousness of his transgressions. There are many people that will never let it go and I don't blame them. He accused the University of racism, fought his buyout, delayed payments and shit on the University and the state, and called Michigan recruits while he was still employed here. He lost his chance.

Your knowledge of me leaves a lot to be desired, but that's beside the point. You want a 61 y.o. (a geezer!) coach who had three good seasons, as you yourself say, 20 years ago? And then, nothing. He had it all at Michigan and was a failure. He had it all at Arizona and was a failure. Who's living in the past?You came back after 2 years to whine about a coach who hurt your feelings 20 years ago lol? This kind of stuff makes me want to hire Rich Rod more than anything else. I'm assuming you are like Bru, who is so far removed from being a real fan that he hasn't even been to a game or spent a dime on the local economy in many many years. The futon fans. You guys have no skin in the game. Hiring Rich would suit you right. Go root for UGA.
A failure at Michigan is very subjective. Is 3 years enough when his win total improved every single year of that stretch. It’s worth noting Michigan did very well the following year with Rods players. If anything, maybe Michigan was impatient.Your knowledge of me leaves a lot to be desired, but that's beside the point.
